Hunting forum dislexia.

Im new to the thread so bear with me.
1st off...The English language sucks. Who came up with this crap?
I mean...How is it that we have 2 words, raise and raze that sound exactly the same but have 2 exactly opposite meanings?

Now, with all honesty and love, @tailgunner, at least in my case anyway, I try to put myself in the shoes of whoever may be reading my post. Caps, spaces and basic punctuation sure makes it easier to read.
You make great points that add great context to a discussion but if they are difficult to read and absorb then you are not making the most of your abilities to add important points.
I will admit. When you first started posting here, I thought your posts were a chore to read...not the context, just the presentation...no offense intrnded.
Isn't the goal here to communicate ideas and opinions? That's what goes thru my mind when I post. I want to make it easy to understand my point, and I still find it difficult to form the words.

We can all improve on our posting skills, I'm as bad as anyone. I look back on some of my posts and think..."Huh, *** were you trying to say?" We just try to do better next time.
Don't fret. You are among friends.

Dont disagree with your post at all but I sometimes wish folks would just post in their local dialect. And think about all the deaf folks. I bet you cant get nary a piece of braile in redneck. All them po folks missin out on the buttery flow of proper spoke southern conversation. If'n er'body wasta start postin how theyd visit with da neighbor folk, we'd prolly figger out right quick howta get along even better. Take fer instance if'n I knowd I was tawkin to some feller from up north, I'd try my best to type faster an the northern folks would know theyz gonna have to type slower when tryin ta git their point across to one of us from down south. Er'body wins.

When I was but a lad, at church they sang a song “Bringing in the Sheaves”. I would sing at the top of my voice “We shall come rejoicing “Bringing in the Cheese”. Moms explain to me it was not cheese they were singing, it’s sheaves. It made not since to me I like cheese and don’t even know what a sheave is.
